CONFIDENCE INTERVALS FOR THE DIFFERENCE IN 2 POPULATION PROPORTIONS Pharmaceutical scientists tested the effectiveness of a new drug designed to cure malaria. They recorded the proportion of rats that were cured when given the existing drug (sample 1 proportion) and the proportion of rats that were cured when given the new drug (sample 2 proportion). The 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of cured rats between these two groups was (-0.18, -.005). Interpret this interval. O p1 is substantially more than p2, therefore we can be 95% confident that the proportion of rats cured is substantially higher when given the existing drug verses the new drug. O p1 is substantially less than p2, therefore we can be 95% confident that the proportion of rats cured is substantially higher when given the new drug verses the existing drug. O p1 is similar to p2, therefore we can be 95% confident that the proportion of rats cured is similar, whether given the new drug or the existing drug.

If n = 220, p-hat = 0.4, then what will be the 90% Confidence Interval for the population proportion?
A 95% confidence interval for a proportion is (0.62, 0.88). From this we can infer: The population proportion is 0.75 The population proportion is equal to the sample proportion O The population proportion is between 0.62 and 0.88 O The population proportion is likely to be between 0.62 and 0.88
A confidence interval for a population proportion p is 0.635 to 0.700. What is the margin of error?
